VERBOS IRREGULARES

 Son los que forman el pasado y participio pasado de manera irregular.

 Los verbos irregulares (como su nombre indica) no siguen ninguna norma para formar el
pasado, por lo que deben aprenderse "memorizando" o bien practicando su uso a través
de ejercicios específicos y por supuesto a través de la práctica diaria del inglés ya que
su uso es muy común.
 Existen diversas técnicas para su aprendizaje, como reglas mnemotécnicas (que se
basan en asociar las palabras o los términos con rimas o con imágenes) pero el mejor
método para su aprendizaje es la práctica en su uso.
